I'm not sure scum executioner was even the worst role in the game. Gambler was just as bad. Two day ends from an ability was the problem.

I think instead of a banned role list it's better to know why they're banned in the first place.

Scum gets to control a lynch, well, that sucks, but if the setup is super town stacked that's doable. I think people would whine if I could only use my ability with mayor timing, but if it did that I wouldn't think it was bad in that setup.

I take flak to this day for suggesting Death Miller when the setup I suggested for it was better than the one we had. No one actually brings up the insane psychic which is more deserving of a ban than Scum executioner or death Miller.

So what makes a role bad? If it actively makes the game less fun and can't be solved, basically. Insane psychic does both of those. Death Miller does both (MOST of the time-- the setup I suggested for it was actually clever). Scum executioner actually can be solved and must just be balanced for accordingly. It does make the game less fun though. But so does a Gambler that ends day.
